THE COLOR LINE.

The rejection by Garfield Post, g. A R.,
of Portland, Ore, of oolosed man who
had applied for membership has caused
considerable discussion in the northwest.
1t seems to have been felt that IL would be
dlscreditable to let the report go abroad
that q cofored soldier had been black-balled
simply on account of his color, Our es-
toemed cotemporary, the New York Eren-
fno Sun. In commenting on the action
taken by the members of the Grand Army
Post says ''In the North. at least, preju-
dices OF that sort, though still lingering,
have somsthing of the nature of an ansch-
ronism. To object TO a colored man simply
because he Is coloret nan is DR.. Fell

Written for THE EVENING STAR.
Oh! singers, thou shalt never, never cease
To sound requiem DER our nations grave,
Where broods beneath the sod eternal peace,
Where over blossoms Of remembrance wave.
Our song, though threaded with wall Of woe.
Shall stronger, clearer grow with each new day,
As like to phantoms, past the old years Co.
march Of progress In our freer way.
The funeral dirge, sad sounded through the lands,
Hath now calmer and more hopeful strain.
Behold! bright-faced generation stands
To reap rare harvest from wars gloom and pain;
And grateful, fearful DER the dust Of those
Who gave their lives that such as these might be,
We strew sweet tribute Of the summer rose
In memory Of their truth and loyalty
And a. the mold doth deepen DER the dead,
Love and remembrance strengthen hour by hour:
Our nation is their monument oerhead,
Expanding in new majesty and power.
Lo! on its portals everywhere we read
In words Of fire dnscription to our Cody
Here died the free that manhood should be freed
The true Republic rose from funeral sod"
